    1 local restaurant has a robot. Waitstaff do the unloading so you don’t interact with it directly. Seems like a good idea and haven’t heard any complaints.

      These robots are everywhere in my city in the us. Most of them operate as you described and every one is happy because the waiter can run around unloading the robots far quicker and easy than carrying the dishes for each table one at a time or the restaurant can have a dedicated unloader.

      From what I’ve seen it’s a case of tech making people’s lives slightly easier

        Automation was never inherently a bad thing, no. The issue is this: When the robots do all the work, and no one has a job, does that mean everyone gets to eat? Or no one?
